   ###FRIED SHRIMP CAKES AND PASEMBUR
   1. Mix the ingredients of the fried shrimp cakes evenly.
   2. Pour cooking oil into the wok. It is recommended to pour the oil in half of the wok. Then turn on high heat and soak the spatula in hot oil.
   3. After the oil temperature rises, stir the batter evenly to avoid precipitation. Then you have to scoop a spoonful of the batter onto the hot spatula, and then put it in the hot oil to fry it.
